When a casket uses its magic and one of your enemy's unit got MR, can he use it to prevent the spell? I thought the magic was cast on the Casket itself (so no MR could be used, only scrolls or normal dispel dices), and then affected every unit who had LOS on it.

Thx for the info!

MR can effectively dispel the power of the Casket.

If an army has a unit with MR2, then that army could use those 2 dice supplied by the unit's MR to dispel the Casket's power, provided that the unit could 'see' the Casket following normal LOS restrictions.

If successfully dispelled in this manner, the Casket will cease to work on any unit that turn, not only the unit with MR.


Keep in mind that the Casket acts much like a normal bound spell, just with a variable power level. Magic Resistance acts just like having extra dispel dice, but only when that particular unit is threatened by magic. The extra 'dispel dice' generated by the MR will work just as well as normal dispel dice for canceling out bound or cast spells.

Ok thx! It must be pretty useless against army with a single unit with MR though, but then again, there's has to be a weakness somewhere!

Yup... it is very nice in many situations, but is not a game-winning unit on its own.

The new rules update removes the MR restriction and makes the casket immune.

MR only applies if the spell is targeted directly at the MR unit. if it affects an area, in this case the whole board, that happens to include a unit with MR the unit is still affected and MR does not apply.

if that is the case, would comet of cassandra be immune to being dispelled with MR? as that is an area spell too


cheers

CoS was a specific exception iirc because it doesn't specify a target (AOE spells with a definable radius i.e. not all are still subject to MR). In addition, the CoS was rendered completely useless by the inclusion of a single unit with MR whilst other AOE spells can change targets.
